Papuan Grassbird (Megalurus macrurus) (Megalurus macrurus)

Photo 1 of 3. This bird was flying around the long grass, momentarily settling on grass stalks, occasionally flying straight up, seemingly to catch insects. Mostly when settled it was not visible. I was able to catch 3 photos, when it settled in partial view, some distance from me.
